vent Date End: 2013-09-12\n\nAfter two decades in the music business\, MAR
TINA MCBRIDE is starting over. Now signed to Republic Nashville\, with new
management (Clint Higham of Morris Artists Management)\, a new co-produce
r (Byron Gallimore)\, newly-spotlighted songwriting skills (she penned ove
r half the songs on Eleven\, her new CD)\, and a brand new spirit of accom
plishment\, Martina is swinging into high gear. And she couldn't be more t
hrilled.\n\nWith co-producer Byron Gallimore and a seasoned group of Nashv
ille musicians in tow\, Martina headed down to Atlanta's Southern Tracks s
tudio in January of 2011 to begin work on Eleven. The start of the session
s coincided with an ice storm that shut the city down. &ldquo\;There was n
othing to do there but make music\,&rdquo\; she laughs. &ldquo\;We couldn'
t go shopping\, we couldn't go out to eat. Every day we'd slide across the
parking lot from the hotel and work in the studio making music all day.&r
dquo\; The singer made sure to break the studio time up with trips back to
Nashville to see her daughters\, but being away from home for several day
s at a clip let her totally focus on the recording.\n\nPerhaps the most si
gnificant aspect of Eleven is the fact that Martin herself co-wrote six of
the 11 tracks on the album\, something she's especially proud of. In the
past\, she admits she wasn't always secure about her songwriting\, but thi
s album has brought her newfound confidence.\n\nAs for the superstar herse
lf\, she's frankly exhilarated by the chance to experience what she calls
first-time opportunities the second time around. In a career that's alread
y taken her to breathtaking heights (four CMA Female Vocalist of the Year
trophies\, three ACM Female Vocalist awards\, a GRAMMY win\, numerous nati
onal magazine covers and features\, and appearances on such shows as VH1's
&ldquo\;Divas\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;TODAY Show\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;20/20\,&rdqu
o\; &ldquo\;American Idol&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Dancing with the Stars&rdquo
\;)\, Martina is ready to take it up a notch with the help of her new labe
l.\n\nSponsored by Reliant Medical Group.\n
